Among transport vehicles, Special Vehicles (SVs) are seriously exposed to energy and environmental problems. In particular, elevator cars used when moving objects in high-rise buildings increase the engine's rotational speed (radian per second: RPM). At this time, when the vehicle accelerates rapidly while idling, energy consumption increases explosively along with the engine speed, and a lot of soot is generated. The purpose of this paper is to develop a bi-directional DC-DC converter for control of vehicle power and secondary battery used in an elevated ladder vehicle (EC) used in the moving industry. As a result of this paper, the performance test of the converter was conducted. The charging/discharging state of the converter was simulated using DC power supply and DC electronic load, and a performance experiment was conducted to measure the input/output power of the converter through a power meter. Through this experimental result, it was confirmed that the efficiency was more than 92% in Buck mode and Boost mode at maximum 1.2kW output.

저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치를 개발하여 여러 운전인자가 그 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고 생성된 수소농후 개질가스를 무부하(Idle) 상태의 디젤엔진에 연소용 공기와 같이 주입하여 NO와 매연 저감효율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다 전력 소모량이 증가할수록 개질반응의 점화가 더욱 용이하였으나 $H_2$ 농도, $H_2$ 수율, 에너지 전환율과 같은 저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치의 성능은 O/C 비에 의해서만 영향을 받았는데 그 이유는 평형 반응온도가 O/C 비에 의하여 결정되기 때문이다. 저온 플라즈마 연료개질 장치에서의 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율은 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 O/C 비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$에서 33.4%와 66%의 최고값을 통과하였다. $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 O/C 비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$ 이하인 범위에서 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 이유는 O/C 비가 높아짐에 따라 완전 산화반응이 충분히 일어나서 반응온도가 높아지기 때문으로 보인다. O/C비가 $1.2{\sim}1.5$ 이상인 범위에서 O/C 비가 증가함에 따라 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 감소하는 현상은 과잉산소 조건에서 완전산화반응이 더욱 촉진되어 $H_2$ 수율과 에너지 전환율이 감소하였기 때문으로 보인다. 무부하 상태의 디젤엔진에 개질가스를 주입시 개질된 디젤/총디젤 무게비가 $18.2{\sim}23.5%$까지 증가할 때 NO저감효율과 매연제거효율은 각각 68.8%와 55.5%까지 증가하였다.

DME is generally expected to be used as a promising clean alternative fuel to diesel fuel. DME is not natural product but a synthetic product that is produced either through the dehydration of methanol or a direct synthetic from syngas. As DME has no carbon-carbon bond in its molecular structure and is an oxygenate fuel, it's combustion essentially generates no soot. DME has such cetane number of 55~60 that it can be used as a diesel engine fuel. However, DME has low lubricity but a proven method to solve the poor lubricity is by adding lubricity improver. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop lubricity improver of DME as a transport fuel in Korea. In this study, we investigated a possibility of fatty acid ester compounds as a candidate to improve DME lubricity as compared with current lubricity improver of diesel. We also evaluated quality characteristics, storage stability of DME with lubricity additives.

The use of LPG as clean fuel for Diesel engine is very attractive way to reduce soot and NOx emission. In this study, a numerical study has been done to know the transient behavior of LPG fuel in chamber pressures which is held at a pressure above (0.37MPa)and below(0.15MPa)the fuel vapor pressure. Results show that the vortex formed within the start of injection at the leading edge of the spray cone and was most apparent for 0.15MPa chamber pressure case. The high speed photographs and model results showed a narrower cone angle during the quasi-steady spray period at the 0.37MPa chamber pressure compared to the 0.15MPa case. And it can be shown that more realistic vaporization process is necessary to predict the spray length well.

Understanding the mechanism of carbon oxidation is important for the successful modeling of diesel particulate filter regeneration. Carbon oxidation characteristics were investigated by temperature programmed oxidation(TPO) method as well as constant temperature oxidation(CTO) with a flow reactor including porous bed. The activation energy of carbon oxidation was increasing with temperature and had two different constant values in the early and the later stage of the oxidation process respectively in TPO experiment. Kinetic constants were derived and the reaction mechanisms were assumed from the experimental results and a simple reaction scheme was proposed, which approximately predicted the overall oxidation process in TPO as well as CTO.

Heavy duty diesel vehicles deteriorate urban air quality by discharging a large volume of air pollutants such as soot and nitrogen oxides. In this study, a newly introduced auxiliary device a fuel activation device (FAD) to improve the combustion efficiency of internal engines by utilizing the cavitation effect was closely investigated by the fluid flow mechanism via a numerical analysis method. As a result, the FAD contributed to fuel atomization from the injection nozzle at lower inlet pressure by reducing the pressure energy. The improved cavitation effect facilitated fuel atomization, and ultimately reduced pollutant emission due to the decrease in fuel consumption. The axial velocity along the flow channel was increased 8.7 times with the aid of FAD, which improved the primary break-up of bubbles. The FAD cavitation effect produced 1.09-times larger turbulent bubbles under the same pressure and fuel injection amount than without FAD.

This study describes the effect of EGR rate on the combustion and emissions characteristics of a four cylinder CRDI diesel engine using biodiesel (soybean oil) blended diesel fuel. The test fuel is composed of 30% biodiesel and 70% ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) by volumetric ratio. The experiment of engine emissions and performance characteristics were performed under the various EGR rates. The experimental results showed that ignition delay was extended, the maximum combustion pressure and heat release gradually were decreased with increasing EGR rate. Comparing biodiesel blended fuel to ULSD, the injection quantity of biodiesel blended fuel was further increased than ULSD. The emission results showed that $NO_x$ emission of biodiesel blended fuel becomes higher according to the increase of EGR rate. However, in the case of biodiesel blended fuel, HC, CO and soot emissions were decreased compared to ULSD.

Gasoline direct injection(GDI) engine has a high thermal efficiency, but it has a problem to increase carbon emissions such as soot and $CO_x$. In this study, the objective is to analyze numerically a problem for adding the hydrogen during the intake stroke so as to reduce the injected amount of gasoline in GDI engines. For selection of the base model, the cylinder pressure of simulation is matched to experimental data. The numerical analysis are carried out by a CFD model with the hydrogen addition of 2%, 3% and 4% on the volume basis. In the case of 3% hydrogen addition, the injected gasoline amount is only changed to match the maximum pressure of simulation to that of the base model for additional study. It is found that the combustion temperature and pressure increase with the hydrogen addition. And NO emission also increases because of the higher combustion temperature. $CO_x$ emissions, however, are reduced due to the decrease of injected gasoline amount. Also, as the injected gasoline amount is reduced for the same hydrogen addition ratio, the gross indicated work is no significant, But NO and $CO_x$ emissions are considerably decreased. On the order hand, $CO_x$ emissions of two cases are more decreased and their gross indicated works are higher obtained than those of the base model.

환경오염에 대한 심각성이 대두되면서 대기오염에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있다. 육상에서 사용하는 자동차 및 산업용 발전설비 뿐만아니라 선박용 디젤기관에서도 규제를 시행하고 있어, 대체연료로서 바이오연료에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 따라서 실습선의 발전기관에 직접 바이오연료를 적용하여 기초적인 연구를 하고자 한다. 다만 실습선 안전을 위해 바이오연료의 비율을 많이 하지 못하지만 그래도 실험실에서 하는 작은 기관보다는 대형이면서, 큰 출력기관의 상태를 알아보는 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다. 선박디젤발전기에서 바이오연료가 연소특성 및 배기배출물특성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 연구하였다. 그 주요한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 바이오연료는 물리적 화학적 성분이 디젤경유와 비슷하여 실용 선박기관에 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 연료소비율과 NOx는 약간 증가하였으나, 일산화탄소와 매연은 감소하는 경향이 확인되었다. 또한 연소압력은 디젤경유와 바이오연료의 사용에 따라 크게 변화하지 않음을 알 수 있었다.
